Likewise I have some 12F and 18F books, because at that time I did a lot
(a lot of orders, probably a neglectible total nr of PICs) of PIC
orderding via the local reseller. I switched to ByMicrochip (much
cheaper!) so I don't think it is ethical to bugger my reseller any more.
I could of course try the Microchip guy in my country.

Yet another suggestion:

Currently they don't allow datasheets to be reproduced on third-party
CDs or otherwise. For third-world, low-speed-connected hobbyists is
would be convenient to be allowed to distribute these on CDs, and for my
students I would like to have for instnace the 16F688 datasheet as
reader.
